Black but I don't know if I should paint them matte black or gloss? What do u guys think? Black? Matte? Or gloss?

Satin. I think the GTS ones are a satin-like finish, and it looks good.

Satin FTW! Matte looks lame...period...gloss will get dirty very easily.

Satin is the best compromise.

I like Gloss

Gloss. Check out these crappy shots of mine. Photos don't really do it justice:

I thought satin and matte black were the same. Got any comparison pics perhaps? I too was thinking about painting my ZCP rims black.

I'm going to do them soon I'll put photos up

Nope...Satin has some gloss to it...Matte has none. What was just posted was definitely full GLOSS!

Satin is often referred to as half-gloss black.

I agree that it's the best of both worlds.

im sorry but i like the Matte better. too many Gloss Piano Black.

these are recent pics of my car. I think a matte black is nice because the brake dust wont make it look any dirtier =D
